[00:08.730]When I was young,
[00:10.271]it seemed that life was so wonderful,
[00:13.703]A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
[00:18.701]And all the birds in the trees,
[00:20.835]well theyd be singing so happily,
[00:24.260]Joyfully, playfully watching me.
[00:31.126]But then they send me away
[00:33.047]to teach me how to be sensible,
[00:36.720]Logical, responsible, practical.
[00:41.490]And they showed me a world
[00:43.443]where I could be so dependable,
[00:46.664]Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
[00:53.634]There are times
[00:55.506]when all the worlds asleep,
[00:59.751]The questions run too deep
[01:03.567]For such a simple man.
[01:09.351]Wont you please,
[01:11.548]please tell me what weve learned
[01:15.549]I know it sounds absurd
[01:19.562]But please tell me who I am.
[01:29.525]Now watch what you say
[01:31.785]or theyll be calling you a radical,
[01:34.943]Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
[01:39.569]Wont you sign up your name,
[01:41.444]wed like to feel youre acceptable
[01:44.611]Respecable,
[01:46.414]presentable, a vegtable!
